    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Been playing with the radio equipment tonight and installed the new Spektrum AX3000 Telemetry sensor on the AR9140T. Pretty cool gismo! Not only is it a gyro that "heading holds" or "stabilizes" it also reads altitude, G-force (all 3 axis) and rate of climb. And it is super small and weighs...

    Well I hope you are around for a good many more years to enjoy the Velox. Hope you heal well. Rob does excellent work. I'm sure you will be proud of the model when it's completed.

    I really like how the wing servo is installed using MPX connectors through the outer wing strut. Brilliant :attaboy:.

    Got my hangar where I can finally have room to work on something. It took six months for "that box" to show up and 3 more for me to finally getting around to opening it...…..That's 9months o_O……..:eek: Do I really need another "Baby" in the room ??? :cautious: Why :yesss:. Cub got horizontal...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Yes it came from Motion RC. Flight Line P-38. It actually belongs to my buddy but I built it and have flown it quite a bit. It flies great with the Aura 8. Flies decent with the gyro off but can stall easily on landings. Gyro prevents the stall for "Mains only" touch and go's.

    Got things just hanging around now. Cub is next. Really opened up some floor space for my work table. Will probably put castors on the table.

    Man that is an AWESOME Delta Wing! I have seen it before but can't remember where or who's it was. Now me knows! Thanks for sharing Snoops! You still have it?

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Finalized construction of a plane carrier/hold down/wall storage bracket for my Alien Extra fuse. The 24" flat bungee is perfect for keeping just the right amount of tension on the carbon fiber LG so it wont spread away from the metal brackets. Velcro straps the tailwheel in place. Constructed...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Electric retracts like the ones on my EDF would be perfect for his plane. Great idea there! Really would clean it up for some blistering speed action. And a :cool: factor as well.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    The QQ300 was my first full frame foamy after flying nothing but gas for several years (Did fly small flat foams back in the day) and my mind set was just like yours. Now look what it has done to me :rolleyes:….I'm Ruined :ooh?: .

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Sorry the vid did not turn out. Maybe turn it around for a departure view? That QQ300 is a hoot to boot and yes I got a GoPro mount on it :D. Easy to hover and fly them. Bunches of fun. I hand launch and recover mine here at the house because of the trees. Only draw back.... it took me two years...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Great to see it taking shape. And knowing how you are I bet that head of yours is just buzzing with adrenaline thinking how all those wonderful RC goodies are going to fit in it and cool ways of laying it out once the bones are done being connected :)

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I got the Timber. Pretty much the same thing. Great for the GoPro as a stable aerial platform! Mobile Bay looking North West and South West from the Eastern Shore.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    The filter did not have any rpm affect on the DL50 but it does on the DJ72! Both are rear induction carbs. I'm thinking a larger diameter filter or one with say 25% more surface area would probably let it spool up more. But as I said earlier it does not really matter that the 72 is only getting...
